I wanted to do a special blog post today to share a bit about my experience with Long-COVID and parosmia. I've felt called by God to try to help others dealing with this horrible condition, even though I am still very much in the trenches myself. And for those of you who have no idea … Continue reading Life with Parosmia

Back from Hiatus
What would you do if God asked you to do NOTHING? In a way, I think God asked the world to do NOTHING, for a bit at least, with the pandemic. To stay home for a few weeks and take a break from life and sit still. Because He was and is still proving that … Continue reading Back from Hiatus
One Word—My 2018 New Year’s Resolution
Last year I wrote about what I do instead of making traditional new year’s resolutions. I choose one word to guide me for the year, and I make an inspiration board that I can look at each day to remind me of my word. For my boards, I decorate a 12in by 12in piece of … Continue reading One Word—My 2018 New Year’s Resolution
Christmas Traditions
It’s almost Christmas! I love this time of year. I don’t think there’s anything more beautiful than Christmas lights, and I love all of the decorations. My husband even put my engagement ring under the Christmas tree in his apartment when he proposed to me. I just love that we get to celebrate Jesus’ birth … Continue reading Christmas Traditions
Our Second Wedding Anniversary
Tuesday, August 1st was my second wedding anniversary. I can’t believe my wonderful husband and I have already been married for two years. It feels like just two days ago that I met the cute boy next door and realized we worked together at our university’s writing center, and it feels like yesterday that I … Continue reading Our Second Wedding Anniversary
When I’m Not Writing: Coloring
I wrote last month that one of my favorite things to do when I’m not writing is make jewelry. One of my other favorite hobbies is to color. I mostly choose to color Christian coloring books, because when I’m coloring something with scripture it becomes a much more fulfilling experience. Reflecting on God’s word while … Continue reading When I’m Not Writing: Coloring

Coloring books for adults have been trending for a couple years now. Coloring is a great way to relax and give your mind a break, and it also helps you be more creative and have fun. I liked the idea of coloring for a while, but I didn’t really get into it until a couple … Continue reading Coloring God’s Word

I was never really a fan of Valentine’s Day growing up because I think you should make an effort every day to show how much you love your significant other. But now that I’ve been married for a … Continue reading Top 10 Reasons I Love My Husband
The Little Things that Inspire Me
I love my desk. My husband and I never used our kitchen table as an actual table, so, since we live in a small apartment and I didn’t yet have my own space for my writing, I claimed the table as my own. And now that I’ve gotten used to my big table, I don’t … Continue reading The Little Things that Inspire Me
The Power of Worship Music
On Saturday I got to go to the annual Christian music tour called Winter Jam for the third time. When my then fiancé took me to this concert back in 2015 I wasn’t sure what to expect. I hadn’t been listening to this kind of music for very long, and I didn’t know any of … Continue reading The Power of Worship Music
